we don't have thanksgiving in the UK, what is it? I know you have like a big christmas dinner but what are you celebrating - what are you giving thanks too.

You're giving thanks for whatever you wish to give thanks for. It's different things for different people.

When the Pilgrims fled your country because of the horrendous religious persecution going on there, they landed in a horrible, cold land where they couldn't grow barley to brew beer so they had to use corn and pumpkin instead. The friendly Indians there, chiefly a chap named Squanto, showed them how to grow corn and survive on the land, and they had a big celebration dinner giving thanks to God and to everything else that made them glad in this new land.

The great-grandchildren of the Pilgrims then proceeded to kill Squanto's great-grandchildren some time later.

the moment i read that USAFALL2004 ask about thanksgiving, i had a feeling that mike would respond in the manner that he did. you're becoming predictable, sir, but still highly amusing.

as for me, thanksgiving is one of my least favorite holidays. sitting around eating turkey, which i really don't like, and watching that god-awful macy's day parade? no thanks. and the ridiculous sales the day of and :::shudder::: the day after? i don't know how many you work in retail, but those days are the equivilant of having many sharp needles being shoved into your crotch over and over. it starts out annoying, then ends up miserably painful. i hate thanksgiving.

christmas food is better, anyways.

a) Why are they called pilgrims? They don't sound very pilgrim-ish

b) I would really like to meet somebody who does actually like turkey

c) I get two Christmas eve's, Christmas day's and Boxing Day's this year )

a) Because that's how we roll.

b) Turkey is absolutely awful the way most people they make it. They cook it at 9 oclock in the morning and let it sit for hours until they eat it so it's cold and dry and awful. If they just cook it, let it sit 10 minutes and then eat it, it's incredible. If it's fried, it's even better.

c) How's that work?

a) How illogical.

b) Turkey's young friend, Mr. Chicken, is far supirior

c) Adults of today suck. A lot of my friends have unusual or messed up family situations and cannot have proper Christmases (Christmae?) with family this year. Plus, we can't all be together for actual Christmas anyway, so we're having a full traditional Christmas from the 20th to 22nd, complete with tree decoration, Christmas lunching and Christmassy alcoools. Yeah, I do have the best friends ever. Yes, you should be jealous. Yes, the girls are hot too )

What's hot is that you think your girlfriends are hot.

Makes you wonder what they do when they're alone.


Okay, so it make ME wonder what they do when they're alone.

I did the entirity of my Christmas shopping in the space of last Sunday afternoon. Yes, that's right, I'm like a yuletide shopping God or something...

Zig-zagging between hordes of bumbling wellwishers is a skill I have honed. Nimble with the old street-feet-action here, darting between and around the dazed and confused who allow themselves to fall victim to the merciless winter bite, pondering what to do about that one particular toy that Timmy was adamant he wanted which as it turns out has been on pre-order everywhere since February.

I find that it's usually much easier after you make those first couple of purchases, you can then sort of use your biggest presents as threatening visual leverage for bemused, sickly idiots to get the **** outta the way, should they be idley meandering in an aisle or doorway.

Sadly, this doesn't work with women who have buggies as they will still undoubtedly dart out of shop fronts and obliterate your ankles or force you to slam on the brakes to avoid crushing their first born with something cumbersome and sporting a jaunty red bow.

There's sort of a heirarchy with shopping, and God forbid anyone who attempts to tackle 'the mother with the buggy'. She's having none of it, ever, even when common sense should be hollering at her that everyone else weighs a damn sight more than her kid, so she should ideally be considering the squish factor.

In the event that just reading this has made you hyperventilate and want to put off venturing out into your own chilly festive escapade for just that little bit longer, behold the consumer power of 'Froogle'. Top tip for festive savings that won't irritate 'pavement rage'.

Just make sure you order things from the e-tailers pretty sharpish, as like the big jolly man himself, they all have a lot to deliver... and to each of you, ahead of time incase I'm not around, 'Merry Christmas'.

I'm think of trying Christmas shopping tomorrow; it might be more bearable with 90% people in work or school.

Did I mention I got a car for Thanksgiving?



~*wOOt!*

No you didn't, Taylor. You don't get presents on Thanksgiving.

I mean, cool!

What is "Molton" and does it burn?

Molton Brown is a ridiculously expensive cosmetics and toiletries brand. But they also provide free bars of soap of planes. So yes, I guess it would burn.
